Should individuals (directors, employees, shareholders) bear any responsibility for the actions of a corporation? If so, to what degree?


Should individuals (directors, employees, shareholders) bear any responsibility for the actions of a corporation? If so, to what degree?

Individuals such as directors and employees, should be responsible for all the actions of a corporation because they are the ones who make all the corporate desition, and all the corporate planing.

On the other hand, Shareholders do not bear any responsibility because they are not involved in any desition made by the other companies individuals (directors, employees)

Relationship between national identity and corporate culture






"The products "Colombia es Pasion" are part of a competitive government strategy that wants to close the gap between the perception and the reality of the image that Colombia has around the world." http://www.colombiaespasion.com/index.php/es/tienda-colombia-es-pasion.html

The relationship between the corporate culture and the national identity consists basically in the adoption of some costumes and behaviors by different corporations in order to participate of a national strategy.

An example of this situation would be the adoption of some companies of the "Colombia es pasion" as part of the advertisement placed in their products.

Deffinitions of culture




When you gather different words such as religion, communication, belives, special days, language, and more, you are basically talking about one magnifincant word called CULTURE.



But I wonder what the real definition of culture is?
I started searchin for different definitions and this is what I got:



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/culture

  • The system of shared beliefs, values, customs, behaviours, and artifacts that the members of society use to cope with their world and with one another, and that are transmitted from generation to generation through learning.

http://www.umanitoba.ca/faculties/arts/anthropology/courses/122/module1/culture.html

  • Is a shared, learned, symbolic system of values, beliefs and attitudes that shapes and influences perception and behavior -- an abstract "mental blueprint" or "mental code.
